Jimmy Webb (I Need More)
Manage episode 259363404 series 1063600
What is there to say about Jimmy Webb that hasn’t already been said in one of his countless profiles, anecdotes, eulogies? I figured it would be good to let Jimmy speak for himself. One thing that really stood out to me was Jimmy’s fond recollections of Studio 54 and the world of disco, lending some first person credence to something we knew all along—that punk and dance music communities have been linked on their margins by cool queers since both began. But that’s me. There’s so much more in this interview that’s worth hearing—from listening to Lou Reed down by the crick in his podunk hometown to backstage at the Apollo with Guns’n’Roses in the year 2010 (what a psychotic series of words).
Jimmy and I weren’t friends, I just knew him from shopping (or browsing and not buying) at Trash & Vaudeville as a teen, and like everyone else who ever met him, I have a few stories about him convincing me to buy my jeans two sizes too small. After he died last week, my friend Mikey, who was very close with Jimmy, mentioned that he had conducted this interview for a podcast that wasn’t meant to be, and we decided to put it up here so that people could find it. So here it is. Please give it a listen. RIP Jimmy.
